PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

With my conspiracy hat on, I have always suspected that a big part of this was repetitional damage

You can say that again.

It is getting very boring this 115 charges.The cartel have 1 league in 33 yrs,0 in 20 and 0 in 10.The media fawn over them like they are prime Real Madrid.Most of us supported this great club in division 2 and quite frankly we would probably do it again.I would have thought that if we are found guilty it will just hurry up the European super league.One thing when this is all done apart from Martin Samuel the main stream media should be banned from the Etihad.Having said that the media as we know it is finished.Anyone can be a journo you tube proves that.They have been out to get us since they worked out that adug are not fucking about.

Since you're from Chicago.. I think you should know there are 2 tiers of justice.. one for average people and one for those in power with connections.

In Chicago there are more than 2! ;-)

Liverpool failed, Leicester failed. Doesn't matter if they qualified or not, still breaks the PL FFP rules for some reason with City? but not others.

Liverpool were charged, but cleared of failing UEFA FFP in 2015. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/feb/27/liverpool-cleared-ffp-hull-city-fined

Leicester were investigated by UEFA for 2021/22 FFP breaches, and were found to be compliant. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/...ll-news/leicester-city-ffp-uefa-covid-7541817

Leicester failed EFL FFP in 2018 and were punished.

Neither Liverpool or Leicester have broken the PL rule that requires UEFA compliance.

Do you remember Apple and Microsoft tried to kill Google and they went to court but it was all settled privately?

Do you remember Fox's lawsuit against Dominion? It was settled privately in the end.

We're big enough that we won't be at the mercy of some tribunal imho. If we are, Khaldoon has made a major mistake with trusting Soriano!

United breached the FFP target by £266m....13 times more than Everton did!

This is what is so infuriating all I’ve seen is Everton fans going mad about us to the point of flying a plane over the etihad on Saturday. Why aren’t they bringing this up!?

Yep, if the scum are likely to be deducted points, Everton’s points deduction goes away imo.

I'd like to think City are connected. If there's any dirt out there that we know about (and we probably do) we will be more inclined than ever to use.

Hmm I like to think that too. Did you (or anyone here) see the news yesterday about abu dhabi funding/buying the Telegraph?

I like to think our owners have given up on humble and honest approach. That they've realised its the loudest voice that wins.

Haha. Cunts.

The vast majority know very little about FFP and even less about our charges (or Everton's). Even if we were found "guilty" of all the charges, we're talking about probably £12.5m per year. I thought it was slightly more but Reuters estimated the image rights as £10m, whereas I thought it was around £17m. That's nowhere near enough to turn meeting the PL's FSR into failing them, as Everton did.

And none of our charges post-date 2018, so for the last five years, while we've won all these trophies under Pep, there's been no problem.

I take some of the charges to mean they’re effectively challenging big chunks of the sponsorship revenue.
